The Right Bra Can Change Your Life I am a strong believer that the right bra can and will change your life, and that if your bra makes you uncomfortable in any way, you are wearing the wrong size and fit for your body shape. Something like 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size.…

Hello Beauty Junkies! A very quick post today to let you know about my current favourite hair mask in Japan. For a long time I was devoted to the Ichikami hair mask, the one that comes in a pot, simply because it smelled amazing. It also did an okay job, but eventually I found it…

Animation Done Right I haven’t had time for animation in a really long time, but I fell in love with this cute little series immediately. This adorable little series consists of one minute episodes about a 25 year old office worker and her daily adventures with her annoying co-workers. When they’ve pissed her off beyond…

An Eye Makeup Look in a Pot These Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows are not new, but I have been loving and using the shade On and On Bronze (this is the UK name, in the US it is called Bad to the Bronze) as my go to eyeshadow product this year. If there is…

The Hairbrush to Untangle All the Knots I had seen Tangle Teezer brushes in Boots stores in the UK for a long time, but it wasn’t until I was working in Japan and fortunate enough to meet the founder, Shaun Pulfrey, that they really showed up on my radar. Background on the Tangle Teezer Brand…

My Pulling Lipstick I fondly call L’Oreal’s True Red Serum Lipstick my pulling lipstick. Why? Simply because I get approached the most often by men when I am wearing this. Much, much more than a nude lip, or a bright pink lip, or a coral lip. Some people rely on a lucky pair of pants to…

A Punny Eye Cream Hello Loves, I have a quick review on Soap & Glory’s Make Yourself Youthful Rejuvenating Eye Cream today. Any product with the word “rejuvenating” in it I am willing to try. Self-care is an investment after all (or so I tell myself, heheh). You may know by now that I also love…

An Unconventional Love Story Dear Book Junkies, I picked up The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion on a whim and what a good one it turned out to be! This book is such a sweet and unconventional love story that follows a 39 year-old autistic university professor’s search for love. I found myself smiling pretty…

Trying Out Menstrual Cups Hi dolls, This post is a little bit more up close and personal as I will be talking about my experience with menstrual cups. If you are new to them, menstrual cups are a type of reusable menstrual product. These days they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours,…

Discovering Charity Knitting Knitting used to be as difficult a concept to handle, in my mind, as rocket science or how nuclear bombs work. I mean, have you ever tried following a knitting pattern? Those things look insane with all the abbreviations and symbols! Plus, who on Earth decided that getting a bit of woollen string…

A Mascara That Works in Japan We all know the struggle to find that perfect mascara is real. Once we’ve found The One however, we think it’ll last forever. But sometimes life happens, and the universe decides to throw a spanner in the works. This all sounds very dramatic, but those special souls who love taking up…

Highlight Like a Boss Albatross was my very first highlighter. Before all of the Anastasia Beverly Hills madness, before Hourglass was on my radar, and well before the Becca x Jaclyn Hill collabs, NARS was the go to for that highly sought after glow. Albatross was the one powder highlighter that all the beauty bloggers…
